About us/where we are
We are a small congregation outside Berwick, PA, just off Route 11. We are attempting to follow the instructions and corrections given in the New Testament for the life of the believer and the practices of the assembly; the New Testament is the guide and Christ is the head of the Church.
Two important values guide our congregation: faithfulness to God's Word, and manifesting God's love to others. Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments." He also said, "This is my commandment: that you love one another."
While we strive to serve and honor God "in spirit and in truth," "if we lack love, we have nothing." Discerning what is required and what are matters of personal beliefs requires that we extend grace and love to one other, overlooking the differences that could cause division.
We broadcast our assembly on Facebook live-stream. This is no substitute for fellowship, but permits those unable to attend to still have some blessings. Our live stream has the potential of reaching as many as 26 thousand people.
